The Freedom House report on Saudi hate literature being distributed from Islamic centers in the US has begun to get some attention. But is more than just attention required? The summary of the report is here. A reading of the acknowledgements portion is spooky. Death threats, targeted assassinations, requests for help from American Muslims to get rid of this hate literature… Quillnews invites readers to check out the passage below from the acknowledgments to the Freedom House report entitled: Saudi Publications on Hate Ideology Fill American Mosques and judge for themselves:
Acknowledgements -- “Freedom House is deeply appreciative of the volunteers and expert consultants who helped in the preparation of this report. The research, translation and principle analysis of the materials for the report were carried out by both Muslims and non-Muslims who wish to remain anonymous for reasons of security. In light of the recent targeted assassination and death threats for speaking out against Islamic extremism in the Netherlands, such concerns appear especially valid. All involved did so out of a conviction that the Saudi Arabian publications in this study, which espouse an ideology of hate and purport to be the authoritative interpretation of Islam, continue to be in plentiful supply at some of our nation’s main mosques and continue to be used as principal educational resources on Islam for Muslims in America. We also wish to acknowledge the many Muslims who have requested our help in exposing Saudi extremism in the hope of freeing their communities from ideological strangulation; they have done so in the firm belief that public awareness of this problem will prompt the moderate majority of American Muslims to take steps to remedy it.”
Quillnews calls on the Department of Homeland Security, FBI and counter terror squads in local police departments to check these guys out. I mean, hello. This is the United States. What is going on? Is the war on terror being waged here through intimidation of patriotic American Muslims and indoctrination of their children? Do these people need protection at home from these religious thugs? Is a bona fide “fifth column” working here that threatens the security of the wider community?
Quillnews suggestion to assignment editors: Editors from the metropolitan areas below should profile these institutions to give their neighbors a view of who is doing and saying what. A very useful list of the addresses of these centers, and their political representatives from these centers is available. Ask the directors of these temples and centers to demonstrate if and why they have Saudi hate literature on hand? Below are the metropolitan areas and names of the centers identified in the report:
Metro NY -- Islamic Center of America, East Orange NJ; Daru-Al-Islah, Teaneck, NJ; Al-Farouq Masjid, Brooklyn, NY.
US Capital Area -- Saudi Arabian Embassy in Washington, DC; Institute of Islamic and Arabic Sciences in America, Fairfax, Va.; Islamic Center of Washington, DC, Washington, DC; Masjid Al-Islam, Washington, DC; Dar Al-Hijra Islamic Center, Falls Church, Va.; Herndon Mosque, Herndon, Va.; Dar Al-Hijra, Falls Church, Va.
Midwest -- MCC (Muslim Community Center), Chicago, Ill.
Texas -- Islamic Society of Greater Houston North Zone, Houston, Tex.; Masjid Al-Farouq, Houston Tex.; Richardson Mosque, Dallas, Tex.
